Redmi Note 7 Pro was launched into the Indian market for a starting price of Rs. 13,999 for the 4GB RAM variant with 64GB storage. The higher variant with 6GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage is priced at Rs. 16,999. But, even after subsequent sales, there are many who aren’t able to grab the device yet. This is expected as it’s Xiaomi and hype is higher than what the brand can offer actually, just like most other Redmi Note devices, the Redmi Note 7 Pro is surely very good but hardly there are stocks available.

3. Samsung Galaxy A30
Earlier, the Samsung Galaxy A-Series phones were considered to be a good choice if someone has got a budget of above Rs. 20000, but lately, due to heaving competition in the smartphone market in India, Samsung has also been quite aggressive and the recently launched Samsung Galaxy A50 is a phone that is quite a nice choice, if you want a premium feel, great display, and a cleaner UI. Have a look at the specs first though, before you make up your mind.
Samsung Galaxy A30 Key Specifications
- 6.4-inch [19.5:9] Super AMOLED display [water drop notch]

Apart from the specs, if I talk about real life experience with the Samsung Galaxy A30, it is a really nice phone. The Super AMOLED Display is something that I miss on every other device in this price segment. Though the device isn’t as powerful as the RealMe 3 Pro or the Redmi Note 7 Pro, I didn’t have issues as I hardly play games on smartphones! Also, the latest Android 9.0 Pie with Samsung’s new OneUI on top is quite fluid and is definitely better for users like me, who hate bloatware disguised as system apps and ads!
